Crochet Greek Alphabet, Part 1

After designing the Moogly Crochet Uppercase Alphabet, Lowercase Alphabet, Numbers, and Punctuation, there was yet another request – the Greek Alphabet! While I don’t plan on covering every language out there, Greek letters are indeed commonly used in English speaking countries – in math, science, and of course fraternities, sororities, etc. So I’ve worked up the complete uppercase Crochet Greek Alphabet – and I’m sharing the first half in this post, and the second is HERE!

Row 5: Ch 1, sc in the 1st st, hdc in the next st, dc in the last st; turn, (3 sts)

Row 6: Ch 2, dc in 1st st, hdc in next st, sc in the last st; turn. (3 sts)

Row 7: Ch 1, sc in the 1st st, hdc in the next st, dc in the last st; turn, (3 sts)

Row 8 – 11: Repeat Rows 6 – 7. ( sts) At the end of Row 11, do not turn.

Row 12: Ch 1, and working into the outside edge, work 2 sl st in the side of the dc from Row 11, and 1 sl st in the dc from Round 10. Ch 1, sc in the side of the dc from Round 10, hdc and dc in the side of the dc from Round 9; turn. (3 sl st, 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc)

Row 13 – 18: Repeat Rows 6 – 7.

Row 19: Repeat Row 6.

Row 20: Ch 1, sc in each st; break yarn and use tail to sew Row 20 to last 3 sts of Row 3, and center of B to Row 3.

Row 1: Ch 4, skip the ch closest to the hook, sc in the next st, hdc in the next st, dc in the next st; turn. (3 sts)

Row 2 – 11: Ch 1, sc in each st; turn. (3 sts)

Row 12: Ch 1, sc in each st, FSC 11; turn. (14 sts)

Row 13 – 14: Ch 1, sc in each st; turn. (14 sts)

Row 15: Ch 1, moving to end of Rows 12-14, work 2 sc in the end of Row 14, sc in the end of Row 13, sc in the end of Row 12, FSC 7, sc in each st of Row 1 (foundation ch side), sc again in last st; turn. (15 sts)

I hope you enjoyed the first half of the Greek Alphabet – for the second half, CLICK HERE!

I do have a question on the Delta pattern..
Once I get to row 15 and finish the FSC 7, I am completely lost! Is there anyway you could post a video? I always have a hard time with written instructions.

Thank you Olivia! So after you FSC 7, you sc into the starting end of the other side of the delta. Basically, in this row, you are creating the bottom of the delta. Rows 1-14 create the ^ shape, rows 15-17 create the _. Does that help?
